blog contest & session giveaway! {bismarck children’s photographer}

I’m so excited for my very first blog contest and giveaway of 2010!  And it’s a big one, too, with almost $800 worth of prizes!

{the details}

Below, I’ve posted one image from every session I’ve done in the past six months.  Clients, tell all of your family and friends to come here to my blog to vote for your photo.  If you don’t know any of these people, just leave your vote for the photo you like the best.  To vote, all you need to do is leave a comment on this post only, with the image number you are voting for.  I will not count votes that are emailed, left on Facebook, or entered somewhere else, so that is very important.  One vote per email address is allowed.

{the prizes}

The client with the winning photo will receive one of these beautiful, custom designed image boxes containing all the images from their session {$500 value}.  These are one of my most favorite products!  They are a wonderful way to display your images.  In addition, you will receive 50% off a portrait session fee to be used toward a session in 2010 {$62.50 value}.

That’s not all, though…when the voting ends, I will randomly select one of the voters, who will receive a free portrait session in 2010 along with a $100 print credit {$225 value}!  Session must take place within 40 miles of the Bismarck/Mandan area.

So, here you go!  VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!  Contest ends Tuesday, March 16th at 5:00 pm CST. 

ETA:  If you’ve never commented on my blog before, your comment will not show up until I approve it, so no worries if you don’t see it right away!  And clients, you can definitely vote for yourself if you want!

stink bomber {bismarck baby photographer}

That’s a nickname that was given to Rory a looooong time ago (Well, long for her almost 4-year life span anyway), and it seems to have carried over to this guy.  I got this hat for him before Christmas, and I pretty much thought it was the cutest thing I’d ever seen.  And I can’t even count the number of “where did you get that hat?” comments we’ve had.  I just couldn’t wait until he was sitting up so I could these shots!

So, on Saturday I did my first little mentoring session with a new photography friend that I’ve made, Erin.  It was the perfect opportunity to take some photos of Cohen in his bomber hat!  I was a little worried before hand because I’m not so sure I am the best at teaching, but I did my best, and it was great to hang out with her for an afternoon and talk photography.  I think Rory made a new friend, too!  Erin brought her a nice little gift, and Rory was eager to show off all the stuff in her room and play.  Thanks, Erin for a fun afternoon and for the gifts for the kids!

He’s getting to be such a big boy!  Sitting up all on his own really well now, army crawling all over the living room floor and SO close to crawling for real, shakes with excitement at the any sign of food, and never short on drool.

These two were taken one right after the other.  Notice the swinging drool?  Too funny!

Erin took this one.  (Thank you!)  I just loved it, so I had to edit it.  He was keeping a close eye on dad.

It seems like I have been working on this forever, but I finally got my official website done!  I love how it turned out, so I guess it was worth it.  Click the image below to check it out!

Also, make sure you become a Facebook fan of Everyday Art Photography so you can stay up to date with my business and my blog!  I’m doing my best to get it all figured out, but seriously, Facebook does not make it simple, so bear with me.

Oh, and to all my clients from 2009:  watch for an awesome contest/giveaway for you as well as your friends and family next week!

brown bear, brown bear

Rory is really starting to learn so much at preschool.  Sometimes I don’t even realize what they are learning there because when I ask her she says she doesn’t know, but then she surprises me with something.  They made their own Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? books and I just loved it!  The letters that she was trying to write on each page and the drawings…I just got a huge kick out of it, so I have to share.

The book is on our normal bed time rotation, and I still remember Mrs. Huber my grade school librarian reading it to me.

FYI…I have no idea how to get this video on the web without losing all of the quality, but I guess this is better than nothing.
